Grandpa died, and we immediately went for each other's throats over the inheritance. Then a blizzard hit, trapping us all in the family estate. An app appeared on our phones: [THE LAST ZOMBIE: FINAL RECKONING]. We had to pick a hiding spot. The last one standing—the last human standing—would inherit everything. I chose the dark, silent recording studio in the basement. Away from them all. When it was time to pick special powers, my family chose powerful weapons or pocket dimensions full of supplies. I chose Bio-Stasis. It slowed my cells to a crawl, and my body along with them. My stepbrother's fiancée, Chloe, called me an idiot. "Hiding from your family and picking a useless power? You're on a suicide mission." They threw a zombie-slaying party upstairs, already celebrating an inheritance they hadn't even won. Until, one by one, they turned. And started tearing each other apart. What they didn't know... was that I'd rigged the game from the start. The only way to win was to stay completely silent.

I receive a message one day. "Your condoms have been delivered. Total to be paid: XX dollars." I distinctly remember that I've never made such an order, but the address and phone number are mine. I call my husband, but he only says differently, "My godsister ordered them. She's too shy to use her details, so she used yours. It's not like it'll affect you." I nod silently. She might as well not have them if she can't afford to pay for them.

"I'm sorry, Anna. I've made a mistake that can never be forgiven." My Alpha mate, Alan Thorne, is drugged with a powerful aphrodisiac—one only a she-wolf's touch can neutralize. His assistant, Leah Hawke, takes advantage and sleeps with him. Alan and I have been bound by a mate bond for eight years. His heartfelt apologies make me believe it is nothing more than a tragic accident. But six months later, everything falls apart. When I hear Alan is caught in a landslide during a business trip, I rush to his side without hesitation. I find him lying in the hospital bed, staring at Leah, guilt weighing heavily in his eyes. "Leah is three months along with my pups. She risked everything to save me, clawing through mud and rocks with bare hands until they were raw and bleeding. "Baby, I swear, you're the one and only Luna. But please... Let me make this right. Let me take care of her until the pups are born." Leah breaks down in tears, pleading, "These pups are innocent. Please don't punish them." At that moment, I feel like the villain tearing a family apart. With bitterness burning in my throat, I rasp, "Alan, you have to choose. Either end our mate bond or banish Leah from the pack." Alan shakes his head, anguish deepening his expression. "I can't break our mate bond, but I also can't turn my back on Leah. That's not who I am." In the end, Leah gives birth to twin pups. The entire pack celebrates, but not me. I already know my time here has come to an end. "Well, Alan, since you can't decide, I'll be the one to vanish from your world."

Pendant longtemps, Lucien Armand était la seule lumière dans la vie de Léa Fontane. Jusqu’à ce que Lucien lui dise en face : « Mon mariage avec Mlle Morel ne sera pas annulé, mais tu peux continuer à être ma maîtresse. » Léa s’est réveillée tout à coup. Sa lumière s’est déjà changée en une ombre écrasante au-dessus de sa tête. Ce soir-là, Léa a quitté la famille Armand. Tout le monde pensait que Léa, orpheline, sans le soutien de la famille Armand, ne serait rien, et qu’en quelques jours à peine, elle serait incapable de survivre et finirait par supplier pour la réconciliation. Jusqu’au jour où, lors de la cérémonie d’union entre la famille Morel et la famille Armand, Léa est apparue sous les projecteurs, vêtue d’une robe rouge éclatante, au bras du dirigeant de la famille des Morel. Elle est soudainement devenue la belle-sœur de ce couple fraîchement marié. Tout le monde est resté bouche bée. Lucien croyait que Léa s’était donnée à un autre homme par sa faute, et il a serré les dents en voulant la ramener à lui. Mais une voix froide et calme l’a interrompu : « Fais un pas de plus, et tu regretteras. »

Les parents de mon mari ont été piqués par un frelon inconnu et ont été envoyés d'urgence à l'hôpital. Je suis allée à l'institut d'entomologie pour demander à mon mari, le directeur, d'aider les médecins à établir un diagnostic. Mais il a appelé les agents de sécurité pour me bloquer à l'entrée. « Je ne traite pas les affaires après le travail. La mère d'Isabelle est malade, je dois aller m'occuper d'elle. » Je voulais lui montrer l'avis de danger critique, mais il me l'a arraché et déchiré. « Beaucoup de gens meurent tous les jours. Tes parents sont morts, et alors ? » Après la mort de mes beaux-parents, j'ai porté plainte contre Isabelle qui avait volontairement fait tomber le nid de frelons. Mon mari, disparu depuis quelques jours, est soudainement apparu au banc des experts et a falsifié un avis professionnel pour innocenter Isabelle. Quand j'ai décidé de partir à l'étranger, mon mari s'est mis en colère : « Tes parents sont morts parce qu'ils étaient faibles, en quoi cela me concerne ? J'ai travaillé toute la journée, j'ai pas le droit de me reposer ? » « Tu veux même entraîner Isabelle avec toi ? Ta famille est brisée et tu veux détruire celle des autres ? Quelle cruauté ! » « Des gens comme toi méritent de perdre leurs parents ! » En regardant son visage plein d'hypocrisie et d'accusations inversées, j'ai soudainement compris. En fait, il ne savait pas encore qu'il était devenu orphelin.

My husband has a dangerous condition - Jacob's syndrome, a rare genetic disorder where men carry an extra Y chromosome (XYY). But it's not just the genetics - he has an uncontrollable rage that turns him into a monster. It all started when I saved his life. After that, he became obsessed with me, relentlessly pursuing me for three years. He deliberately ran his car into my childhood sweetheart, leaving him permanently disabled. Then he threatened to kill my entire family unless I married him. For seven years after our marriage, his controlling behavior became pathological. He even had a tracking chip implanted in my body and completely controlled my freedom. Yet at the same time, he showered me with endless love and catered to my every wish. When my mother-in-law pointed her finger at me while speaking, he snapped it without hesitation. When my sister-in-law's child disturbed my afternoon nap, he threw them both out of the house and severed all family ties. I refused to have a child, terrified of what darkness might be passed down, so he invested his entire fortune into developing cutting-edge genetic screening technology, making it possible for me to conceive a healthy baby. But on the very day I discovered I was pregnant... My mother-in-law stormed into our home with a group of people, accusing me of having an affair and carrying another man's child. They beat me until I lost the baby. As I lay there barely clinging to life, my husband finally arrived. My mother-in-law thrust a doctored video in his face and said, "Troy! Your wife had an affair and got pregnant with another man's child. Look, here's the proof!"

La fille adoptive que papa avait recueillie n'a été enfermée que quelques minutes dans le petit débarras par accident, mais il m'a attaché et m'a enfermé dans le débarras, en allant jusqu'à boucher les trous d'aération avec des serviettes. Il a dit : « Si tu n'apprends pas à prendre soin de ta sœur, alors tu vas goûter à la souffrance qu'elle a endurée. » Mais je souffrais déjà de claustrophobie, et alors ce petit espace sombre, je ne pouvais que retenir ma peur et le supplier. Mais en retour, j'ai reçu ses reproches impitoyables : « Cette leçon est là pour te faire réfléchir. » Quand le dernier espoir est disparu, je me suis débattu désespérément dans le noir. Une semaine plus tard, papa s'est enfin souvenu de moi et a décidé de mettre fin à cette punition : « J'espère que cette leçon te fera réfléchir. S'il y a une prochaine fois, tu seras mis à la porte. » Mais il ne savait pas que j'étais déjà mort dans le débarras, et que mon cadavre avait commencé à pourrir.
